While I may disagree with the reasons posted I agree that Lincoln's actions started the errosion of property rights and created a strong federal govt. The end result is what we have now (or don't have now). I don't beleive there will ever be any attempt to secede or another American revolution as we are like the frog in the frying pan.
Anyone who speaks of secession in this day isnt thinking right. The USA is the greatest country in the world. Still many things could be done to improve it. We need for this country to stop thinking of itself as being run by two separate political parties. We need people in the Congress who will work together for what is best , not to get their side elected, and with our present system as it is that wont happen.
